⁴⁹ And he said to them, Why were you looking for me? was it not clear to you that my right place was in my Father's house?

¹ See, I am sending my servant, and he will make ready the way before me; and the Lord, whom you are looking for, will suddenly come to his Temple; and the angel of the agreement, in whom you have delight, see, he is coming, says the Lord of armies.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me; he has not gone from me, because at all times I do the things which are pleasing to him.

³⁸ For I have come down from heaven, not to do my pleasure, but the pleasure of him who sent me.

¹⁷ But his answer was: My Father is still working even now, and so I am working.

³⁴ Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.

⁸ My delight is to do your pleasure, O my God; truly, your law is in my heart.

⁴ While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done.

¹⁶ And to those who were trading in doves he said, Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a market.

¹⁷ And it came to the minds of the disciples that the Writings say, I am on fire with passion for your house.

⁴⁸ And when they saw him they were surprised, and his mother said to him, Son, why have you done this to us? see, your father and I have been looking for you with sorrow.

¹² And Jesus went into the Temple and sent out all who were trading there, overturning the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those trading in doves.
